Category: Milk Frothers

A milk frother is a gadget used to produce the foamy milk found on top of hot beverages like cappuccinos and lattes. A milk frother does this by rapidly mixing air into the milk hence causing the milk to increase in volume and at the same time giving it a creamier, sweeter, lighter or denser taste, depending on the frothing device being used. The cream is essential in balancing out the strong flavors in coffees like cappuccinos.

You can also use milk frothers to create latte art on top of your hot beverage. Most cappuccino machines usually have an attached steam-operated frother arm. If you looking to purchase a milk frother read my post on top 5 milk frothers to get a deeper understanding of this appliance.

Types of Milk Frothers

Electric Milk Frother

An electric frother looks like a small food processor. It is a great option if you are looking to froth a large quantity of milk. If you love making big cappuccino batches at once, then this is the milk frother for you.

Some electric milk frothers can even heat your milk during frothing and some have steamers in built to help you frother in just one step.

Motorized whisk

A motorized whisk is manual and requires integrated batteries to function. This milk frother is hand-held and includes a whisk and a propeller. As soon as you turn it on, the whisk connected at the end of the device turns quickly causing the milk to fluff and froth, creating big bubbles in the mix.

This type of milk frother is pretty easy to use, making it ideal for beginners. To make your creamy frothy drinks, simply submerge the tip of the whisk in the mixture, switch the Start button, move the unit bit by bit while foaming. Note that you should never turn the power on before submerging the whisk in the milk, to avoid spattering.
